dinnerlunch
basicsgluten-free optionoil freesauces and condiments

Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat a wide pot or skillet over high heat, then add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft and golden brown, adding splashes of water as needed.
  2. Add a little stock to the pan and stir until the liquid has evaporated. Add mushrooms, and sauté until soft.
  3. Thoroughly mix the miso and wholemeal flour into the remaining stock until smooth, and add to the pan. Stir constantly until the gravy boils and thickens.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for a minute or two. Add the soy sauce and stir. Reduce the heat and simmer for a couple of minutes.

TIP: Suitable for home freezing: just defrost in the fridge the day before using, and reheat when ready.

Ingredients

TO SERVE

Method

  1. Heat a pot over a medium heat, add the carrots and celery, and stir. You don’t need to cook them in oil, just use a splash of water if they start to stick. Turn the heat to very low, then add the garlic and stir. Cover with a lid and cook until very soft, about 20–25 minutes.
  2. Remove the lid, add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, coconut sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and stir. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Puree the sauce mixture in a blender until smooth, then pour back into the pot. Mix the cornflour with a little water and add it to the sauce. Add 500ml of water, stir through, and heat until the sauce boils and thickens.
  4. Add the beans and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the salt and stir through.
  5. Serve on wholemeal toast with fresh baby spinach. I also like a few strips of baked tempeh on top, but you can add any of your breakfast favourites.

TIP: Navy beans are sometimes called white beans, but you can also use cannellini beans if you want. If using dried beans, soak them overnight, then drain and rinse. Cook the beans before starting this recipe. If using canned, you’ll need about six cans.

Apple and berry pie

This healthy wholefood pie will make you berry happy.

dessert
bakingentertainingkid-friendlyrefined sugar freeseasonal

Ingredients

Pastry

Filling

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. To make the pastry, combine the flour, chilled mashed banana, cinnamon, dates and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until the dough resembles the consistency of play dough. Place the pastry onto a clean bench and knead in 1–3 tsp of warm water. Place in the fridge to rest for about one hour.
  3. Roll the pastry out on the kitchen bench using a rolling pin (use a little flour to prevent it sticking) until it’s very thin and wider than the baking dish you are going to use. Place the pastry over the dish, push down to line the dish, and cut off any excess with a knife. Prick the pastry base with a fork. Add a large piece of baking paper into the dish and add 2–3 cups of rice to weigh down the pastry while blind baking. Bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Make the filling. Add to a medium saucepan the apple slices, dates, mixed berries and cinnamon. Place a lid on top and stew the fruit in its juices over a low heat, stirring regularly, for 20 minutes or until the apple slices are very soft.
  5. To assemble, place the filling into the blind baked pie base. Roll a second piece of thin pastry and carefully place it onto the top of the pie. Cut away the excess pastry with a knife and seal the edges by pinching the pastry together to make a scalloped edge. Add a few diamond shaped pastry leaves to the top of the pie, then brush the top with soy milk.
  6. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
